DevBoxMobile is a native remote workspace for developers and homelab users. Bring your Linux, macOS, and Windows servers, tools, and everyday maintenance tasks together on iPhone and iPad. • Discover and organize servers, then inspect their status and services. • Open interactive SSH shells in separate tabs. Choose a saved server or connect to one temporarily. • Create or reconnect to persistent tmux sessions, grouped by server. Session discovery refreshes without blocking navigation; guided installation is available on supported hosts. • Browse and transfer files with sorting by name, size, modification date or type, hidden-file controls, compact rows, and direct Save to Files. Manage Docker containers and search logs. • Run read-only checks across selected servers and launch saved maintenance actions. • Build and test HTTP requests, monitor endpoints, and browse supported databases. • Find supported remote coding agents and inspect their running processes. • Access private web services through on-demand SSH port forwarding. • Protect credentials with Keychain and optional Face ID or Touch ID. Export an encrypted backup or back up to your own iCloud account. • Use a compact workspace on iPhone and multi-column layouts on larger iPad windows, with support for larger text sizes. DevBoxMobile does not host a server for you. Remote features require a server or service you own or administer, suitable network access, and the relevant credentials. Some features depend on software installed on the remote host.
